However, later I ran into the following two problems:
1) tex2lyx won't compile, if fails with the following error
counters.o(.text+0x1090): In function
`Counters::enumLabel(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits
<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, Buffer const&)':
/home/david/temp/lyx/lyx-devel/src/tex2lyx/counters.C:336: undefined
reference to `Buffer::B_(std::
basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >
const&) const'
2) I configured lyx with --prefix=/home/david/temp/lyx-install to have
LyX installed in my local working directory, but when I tried to run
LyX, I got this error:
Unable to determine the system directory having searched
/home/david/temp/lyx-install/share/lyx/
Try the '-sysdir' command line parameter or set the environment variable
LYX_DIR_14x to the LyX system directory containing the file
`chkconfig.ltx'.
I suppose 1) and 2) are not related. So 2) is really a problem (since
I'm writing my thesis from scratch). I did install LyX this way some
months ago (version 1.4.0) and it did work.
I was mistaken, the problem 1) is not a failure in tex2lyx, I disables
tex2lyx from configure.ac and rerun everything but the problem is still
there. The very same error (undefined reference to Buffer::B_) causes
the rest of the compilation to fail.
First I thought the problem was localized to tex2lyx and thought that
LyX compiled just fine... Now it seems that 1) and 2) are related.
